unironically imperial japan is one of the most orkish societies in history and the worst part is how acceptable softcore denialism of their past crimes is

There are a sizable chunk of people who are completely incapable of squaring the idea that you can both be a victim and a villain simultaneously and its part of why america is Literally Coming Apart
@ArchysLife
My hot take is that the NCR is the most morally correct faction and it serves as a fairly decent vibe check because most of the people who disagree are libertarian or alt-right weirdos.
@RomanianLiberal
Agreed. Its also super funny watching a lot of people who argue for universal healthcare bleat about how evil it would be to gently and carefully give people who live in the stone age access to clean water, medicine, etc. over time.

its very unclear where the real bleeding edge of technology is even in open literature in civilian fields, and it only gets murkier as you step up in sensitivity so while outrageous claims require outrageous evidence, deep skepticism and agnosticism is scientifically correct

No one should get hurt while working, but I have some thoughts on this article.
"In 2022, the Brownsville, Texas facility reported 4.8 injuries per 100. [...] Aerospace industry average is 0.8 injuries per 100 "

I really hate how many online leftist Poasters have this almost magnetic aversion to domain knowledge where they think they can understand everything from first principles and LARP as bullies from 90s high school movies whenever anyone actually knowledgeable corrects them

like if you denied the holocaust in germany youd get the shit kicked out of you but downplaying the massacre of nanjing is acceptable in even modern day japan
Leftists can be extremely annoying sometimes but anyone who tells you that spending time with someone who is even slightly socially conservative is not torturous is probably repressing traumatic memories
@gothgirl_prelaw
i've had a couple old friends who are japanese tell me that their history curriculum spends lots of time on how inhumane the nuking of hiroshima and nagasaki was while the treatment of imperial war crimes is "it wasnt that bad but even if it was we had no choice"

Youtube making advertisements more intrusive, and lower in quality all while fighting a protracted war with adblock users is one of the funnier and disturbing things of this past year

Something a lot of men don't like to admit:
All of your hobbies and ambitions are to attract women.
Nature doesn't care how much personal fulfillment you get from them. Those things are cool, but they're a coincidental positive externality to the prime objective:

Its especially funny when you realize lots of these guys think that a maid they can also have sex with who looks like ana de armas is like, a minimum to them
whenever this account comes up the thing that sticks out to me is just how sad and caustic her view of humanity is. Shes moralized her disgust response and genuinely can't seem to comprehend the idea of a positive-sum interaction ever occurring. I feel pity more than anything
She really thinks that if you go to a restaurant on your birthday you have to specifically demand a birthday treat in a way that is somehow different from just placing an order. Ime, the birthday treat is usually the only thing you *don't* ask for

Ive found that a good chunk of people worth dating find *some degree* of monologuing about some topic endearing if the subject isnt terminally online psychoanalysis
its “guy who is kind of annoying about what words you use and jokes you make” versus “guy who is missing the “cherish your life” piece of the human puzzle and cackles maniacally like Light Yagami atop a mound of human skulls”
